Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 319

She didn't expect that by the time they got home, her Granny had already boiled hot water ahead of time.

Rows of thermos flasks were lined up in the kitchen.

Agnes brought out the tub for bathing.

The tub was very clean, waxed on the top, making it look brand new.

However, when Agnes started pouring water into it from the thermos, Jared couldn't help but frown and ask, "Am I really supposed to bathe in this?"

Agnes nodded seriously and said, "Haven't you watched period dramas? People in those shows bathed in tubs like this. I'll sprinkle some dried flower petals in it later, a king’s treatment. What do you think?"

Jared joked, "So what was the king's treatment like, bathing with whichever lover he wanted to?"

Seeing the mischievous look in Jared's eyes, Agnes knew what he was about to say,

So she held up her hand in a stopping motion and said, "Stop dreaming, you're not a king."

After setting everything up, Agnes clapped her hands satisfactorily and said, "I'll wait for you in the yard, enjoy."

Then, without waiting for Jared's response, Agnes quickly left.

If she didn't leave quickly, Agnes was afraid she wouldn't be able to leave all night.

The weather was great that day. Although there was no moon, the stars were densely scattered in the sky.

In the yard lay an old locust tree.

The tree had been struck by lightning not long ago and was chopped off its branches and leaves, leaving only a thick trunk lying there, yet to be cleared.

Agnes sat on this old locust tree, looking at the starry sky.

The nights in the countryside were quiet and dreamy.

Agnes remembered, her mother used to say, the stars in the sky were the eyes of the departed.

Even if they were not beside their loved ones, they were watching from the sky.
